  • Publication number: 20190032215
    Abstract: A deposition device structure is provided. The deposition device structure includes a heater in a chamber. The deposition device structure also includes a shower head over the heater. The shower head includes holes extending from a top surface of the shower head to a bottom surface of the shower head. The bottom surface of the shower head faces the heater. The bottom surface of the shower head has a first section and a second section. The second section of the bottom surface is rougher than the first section of the bottom surface.

  • Patent number: 10161041
    Abstract: A thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system includes a bottom chamber, an upper chamber, a workpiece support, a heater and at least one shielding plate. The upper chamber is present over the bottom chamber. The upper chamber and the bottom chamber define a chamber space therebetween. The workpiece support is configured to support a workpiece in the chamber space. The heater is configured to apply heat to the workpiece. The shielding plate is configured to at least partially shield the bottom chamber from the heat.

  • Patent number: 9716044
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of making an integrated circuit. The method includes forming a gate stack on a semiconductor substrate; forming a stressed contact etch stop layer (CESL) on the gate stack and on the semiconductor substrate; forming a first dielectric material layer on the stressed CESL using a high aspect ratio process (HARP) at a deposition temperature greater than about 440 C to drive out hydroxide (OH) group; forming a second dielectric material layer on the first dielectric material layer; etching to form contact holes in the first and second dielectric material layers; filling the contact holes with a conductive material; and performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process.

  • Publication number: 20130102117
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method of semiconductor manufacture. In this method, a strain inducing layer is formed over a p-type field effect transistor structure and an n-type field effect transistor structure. The strain inducing layer is removed from over the p-type field effect transistor while the strain inducing layer over the n-type field effect transistor is left in place. A treatment of the strain inducing layer over the n-type field effect transistor is performed after the strain-inducing layer has been removed from over the p-type field effect transistor.
